Question

how was India devided into different states on the besis of language to practice faderalism?

Answer 1

Although additional changes to India's stateboundaries have been made since 1956, the States Reorganisation Act of 1956 remains the single most extensive change in stateboundaries since the independence of India in 1947.

Answer 2

(i) Common Language: Many states were created on the basis of language to ensure that people who speak the same language lived in the same state.

(ii) Common culture, ethnicity or geography: Some States were created not on the basis of language but to recognise differences based on culture, ethnicity or geography. These include States like Nagaland, Uttarakhand and Jharkhand.

Advantages :

• The experience has shown that the formation of linguistic States has actually made the country, more united. It has also made administration easier.
